Who is it for?
Why should SMEs attend AM Summit – and why implement Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing in your business?
Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing are no longer technologies reserved for large corporations – they are increasingly accessible, relevant, and cost-effective for small and medium-sized enterprises. By attending AM Summit, you as an SME gain:
1. Insights into the future of manufacturing
AM Summit offers a clear look into how companies like yours are already leveraging 3D printing to enhance products, reduce lead times, and minimize inventory costs.
2. A competitive edge through innovation
AM enables faster product development, the creation of complex geometries without additional cost, and customization in small batches – ideal for SMEs that need to stay agile and competitive.
3. Direct access to experts and cutting-edge technologies
At the summit, you’ll meet suppliers, specialists, and other businesses who are already on the AM journey. It’s a chance to get answers, inspiration, and tailored guidance.
4. Networking with like-minded SMEs
AM Summit 2025 is designed with SMEs in focus, creating a dedicated forum where you can connect, exchange experiences, and learn from peers facing similar challenges and opportunities.
5. Standing still is falling behind
Companies adopting AM often gain increased flexibility, lower production costs, and faster time-to-market. Not exploring the potential now may mean falling behind in just a few years.
